He is walking because, this is an alternate reality from First Class as well. There are hundreds of different realities and each one has different outcomes. He might get paralyzed in this one a different way than in First Class.

Thaaaaaaaaaaank Yoooooouuuuu for saying that!!!! I STILL can’t get over at how poorly Cyclops has been portrayed in the previous X movies. They totally played him out!!! To make it even worse… James Marsden was a spitting image of Cyclops from the comics… I’m guessing he’s not in this next movie, but I refuse to believe they would EVEN ATTEMPT to have an Apocalypse story line without Scott and Jean!!!! I would flip!!!

I really hope that the producers of these movies realize that Jean Grey and Scott Summers are two of the most popular X-Men and Marvel Characters of all time.
I hope that they bring back the original four (from the movies) for a future movie. This would include Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey and Wolverine.

So… Quicksilver got the name cause he’s quick… and he wears Silver? Seriously, the second I saw that image all I can think of “What’s wrong with green? O_o”

Plus, as I’ve already said many times before… in DoFP he’s NOT Magneto’s son (how could he be one, when he’s standing side by side with his YOUNG father who’s probably 10 years older at most), and that’s definitely a missed opportunity for FOX (that and the fact they decided NOT to add Wanda). Looks like Magneto and his children will never be related in the movies after all, considering no way Marvel Studios can even use his name to explain the true parentage of their version of Quicksilver. Well, perhaps later when the rights have reverted back…

And the look on their faces are like saying, “Wait… I thought we have a huge cast, how come there’s only 4 of us?”. That image of Beast and Wolvie… caught in the act? Okay… Why am I thinking weird stuffs hahaha

Oh, and Singer definitely needs to give good explanation to how Xavier is WALKING! It’s probably as simple as just mind trick/illusion though (or that fancy Astral Projection that was never used in previous movies)…

Michael Fassbender more or less alluded to the fact that Quicksilver IS Magneto’s son in this at Comic Con when he said “…and he’s got great genes” or something along those lines. I’m pretty sure the family connection will be there. And even though Evan Peters is only 10 years younger than Fassbender, he does consistently play teenaged characters (Kick-Ass, American Horror Story). Call it the OC effect, I suppose.

It’s possible Xavier gains the ability to walk again between 1962 and 1973. They do have Beast on their side. He may have invented a cure of sorts.

As far as Quicksilver being Magneto’s son but side by side at the same age…The best way they can explain that is if Quicksilver can run so fast that he ran back in time. Lame, I know, but it would explain it.

Plus, in regards to Xavier walking. Wasn’t he walking in Origins: Wolverine? Also, if I remember, Xavier was walking when he and Magneto first met Jean Grey as a girl. So…it is possible that they are fixing that continuity by having him walk in this movie to connect those dots…

The whole “canon” thing has never really been explained and I have never really seen it officially said by anyone connected with the films. And ignoring Origins does not explain how he was also walking in X-3.

Likewise, I’ve seen absolutely nothing to suggest Origins is not canon; only a lot of people stating such (which does not make it true). As it stands, the only issue with Origins is Xavier’s scene at the end, which might be getting fixed, if these DoFP screens are anything to go by.

There really is no continuity issues with Origins, it was just a sloppy movie with too many unnecessary characters and a horrible third act. Xavier was walking in X-3 when him and Magneto went to Jean’s house. If he said he recruited Scott first then him walking in Origins is in line with what was already established.

This might be out there but they can say that Magneto had his kids when he was a teenager after he got out of the Camps or something. They don’t need to explore his sister but they can establish that he is a twin.

Quicksilver is probably barely gonna be in this movie. He’ll have one quick action sequence and maybe 2 or 3 lines of dialogue at the most. Like Angel in X3. I think what we all care about, at least me anyway, is what Quicksilver will look like in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

If you read below the picture it explains that they were guessing (I agree, though, a guess should not be in the title when it is not a FACT) that the picture with Quicksilver is one where he will use his powers because in an interview the actor states the action sequences of Quicksilver are so slow that you can see raindrops falling, and that’s what appears to be falling in the picture (maybe it’s snow).

Whether or not Origins is no longer canon, it has nothing to do with McAvoy’s Xavier being paralyzed in First Class. Which begs the question still, how is he walking again? ANOTHER alternate timeline, where things played out differently from that film, perhaps? If so, the continuity is just getting WAY too convoluted. A few plot holes here and there are forgivable, but sometimes I feel like none of the sequels’ directors ever even watch any of the other movies. I understand the film is dealing with time-travel and one small thing can create ripple effects and blah blah blah, but I don’t think a little consistency is too much to ask.
And I know I’m complaining a lot here, but I thought Quicksilver was going to be in the future, not the 70s. He’s Magneto’s son. How does him being that age in the 70s make sense?

spoke words out of my mouth about “sometimes I feel like none of the sequels’ directors ever even watch any of the other movies.” It seems like each X-men director is throwing up the middle finger at the other directors saying “screw your vision, mine is better.” Instead of finding ways to build upon each other’s movies.

Not sure I trust the accusation that Fox rushed the Quicksilver casting to compete with Marvel. There were numerous casting decisions announced after Quicksilver’s, some of which will play a much larger role in the story (the young version of William Stryker in particular, who has been said to be one of the primary antagonists.)

It’s possible Xavier (McAvoy) is walking because they’re in an alternate timeline. I may be mistaken but I think I remember Singer saying in an interview that they wouldn’t just be going back & forth in time but playing with multiple timelines. I may be be wrong…….but that would explain him walking.

Everyone’s bashing the yet un-released X-Men film and I’m over here laughing. Seriously, you know who you are, the ones who came up with many reasons why the original First Class would bomb or get bad critical responses. It did neither. Now here comes the next round of “fan” rage. Wanna know how many times Prof X walks in the comics only to be paralyzed again? Google it. There’s heaps. Wanna know how many variations on the Marvel Universe exist in the comics? Google it. Millions. And considering the “fan” hate over the Mandarin twist, which is still going on, can we stop holding up MarvelStudios as a shinning example of a studio which puts the “fan”s first?

IM3 may not have been the most perfectly executed film, but the idea of media being used to spread propaganda and fear with nothing but a made up figure head is extremely relevant into days world. Go Marvel I say.

Anyway, the films not out yet. While I’m willing to bet that it may indeed be one of the best X-Men, maybe even comic book movie ever, I’m just as willing to bet that if it is, no one here complaining will own up and say they were wrong. I’ll even bet that they’ll make up a few reasons why it’s a bad film if it’s getting rave reviews and stellar box office dollars.

1. I agree that we shouldn’t judge too much about Prof. X walking again. He has walked and been disabled many times. I think it’s going to be a medical procedure that makes him able to walk again or its a mental projection. Not that big of a deal.

2. Agree about IM3 being a very clever film about propaganda.

3. Would disagree about First Class getting critical response. There were a lot of people who were not pleased. I liked it. I just hated the continuity issues it presented.

4. I want DOFP to be good but my gripe isn’t with them taking liberties in their own movie universe compared to comics but with the fact that there are numerous continuity issues between the X-franchise movies. It is really lazy on writers and producers to not ensure that the universe they are building is cohesive. Even worse, Singer has expressed that this movie will fix some, but not all, of those issues. Here is my problem, basically Singer is saying, “I don’t give a ‘F’ about those continuity issues. I will try to fix somethings but it doesn’t matter cause I am go to keep telling the X-stories even if it gets more muddied.” That, to me, shows a lack of respect for storytelling and respect for viewers. I believe this is the biggest issue among viewers…the lack of appropriate continuity and respect in storytelling and franchise building.

5. If DOFP does NOT do well in theatres. If it is not reviewed in high regards. If it does not perform well economically or what have you….You will come back to this site or another and claim you were wrong? You will own up to the fact that some people here were justified in their negativity and hesitation?

I wish more people would read this before jumping at every DOFP article to moan about how it’s definitely going to suck, or before posting on every Iron Man article about how the so-awesome Mandarin was thoroughly shafted in IM3. I don’t know why people have this really ‘clean’ mental image of the comic book sources for these movies, as though they only present one absolute vision for these characters, when anyone who’s even bothered to do a little Googling would know that comic book timelines are so much more convoluted,It doesn’t excuse a bad movie,

I didn’t think First Class was as good as it should’ve been and I seem to dislike it more than others here but still, I’m wondering how they’ll try to fix things with this movie, even though I won’t be paying to see it at the cinema (I can wait for its TV premiere). My main reason for that being a complete lack of anything regarding this movie, no excitement, nothing. I don’t like paying to see movies when I feel indifference about news, images and trailers.

Ok let me just set this straight since everyone is obsessing over it. In the DOFP trailer you can see Xavier in a wheelchair and you can also see Hank McCoy in human form. Based off of this observation, I’m assuming Hank not only discovered a way to transform back and forth between his forms (possibly with the use of some serum or the watch nightcrawler used to turn human in the comic books that HANK INVENTED), but he also discovered a way to give Xavier his ability to walk again (possibly with another sort of serum or device). So stop complaining about plot holes and alternate realities before the movie has even come out. Give them a chance people.

I agree the trailer was pretty much just thrown together, but that specific scene when Wolverine, Xavier, and Hank enter Cerebro is a key scene because, I’m assuming, it’s the scene where Wolverine convinces Xavier of the future by letting him read his mind.

:sigh: the best x men movie ? Not even close. This will be a rushed, cheap visual looking , big heep of a mess like all the others.

It’s simple.comic books are story boards. Just trabslate them into a great movie. just add great creative visuals,actors who look like the characters: doesn’t have to be known movie stars:action & epic music scores to bring it all together. when some director gets it I will be the first in line to watch a comic book movie done right.

Heres a bright idea! .why not send magneto back in time. Make the situation a little easier bcoz magneto and prof x already know each other very well OR MAYBE send wolverines back when trask was just a little kid and kill him……………….problem solved!!!

Just want to point out.. Wolverine doesn’t age. So that “Aging Wolverine” reference is inaccurate. The whole reason he’s chosen is because he’s nearly immortal, so it’s easier for Xavier to send his mind back in time to his pre-existing body.

While Marvel Studios is busy trying to get their ambitious 2014 tentpoles Captain America: The Winter Soldierand Guardians of the Galaxy off the ground, Fox will be trying to expand its own section of the Marvel Movie Universe by revamping its X-Men franchise with X-Men: Days of Future Past. The new entry in the series will unite the original X-Men trilogy with the slightly-altered continuity of X-Men: First Class, in a time-travel tale split (unevenly, mind you) between the near future in the ’70s-era.

When mutant-hunting robots called Sentinels overrun the future, Prof X (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto (Ian McKellen) unite their remaining X-Men and Brotherhood teams for a final desperate bid to change the past, by sending the consciousness of an aging Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) back into the body of his ’70s-era self. While the futuristic X-Men Brotherhood guards Wolverine’s body against the Sentinel onslaught, Logan must traverse the past and bring a broken young Xavier (James McAvoy) out of depression, in order to work with his estranged comrade Magneto (Michael Fassbender) to prevent the Sentinel threat that is about to be created by industrialist Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage).

A complicated narrative, to be sure, but one that holds potential for some of the most epic X-Men action we’ve seen yet, a whole new continuity to play with, and future spinoff opportunities like X-Force. Today we have new Days of Future Past photos share – both are set in the ’70s and feature Wolverine’s encounters with various characters from the First Class world, including Xavier, Magneto, Beast (Nicholas Hoult) – and most notably, newcomer Quicksilver (Evan Peters):

Not much to see here, but fans are going to be especially critical of how Peters appears in the image – especially since he has no confirmed costume beyond the ’70s getup we see above. Sure, there will be super slow-motion sequences that could be a fantastic showcase of Quicksilver’s powers – and it’s probable the one image above is one such sequence, as Peters previously went on record as saying, “It’s super, super, super, super slomo. You can see raindrops frozen in the air. Stuff like that. It’s amazing how that camera works.”

With just one image it’s impossible to tell much context. Peters has described his Quicksilver as a guy characterized by annoyance with the slow pace of the world around him, and how he sees everything at a much more rapid pace: The one question this image raises for me is whether or not in this film version Quicksilver’s speed effect can be extended to others. Are Charles, Erik and Logan frozen still while Quicksilver is moving into the room? Or are the three men staring in awe at the effect of a world slowed down so much the rain hangs on air? What do you think?

As for the other photo: That’s classic Wolverine and Beast, and looks like a nice hat-tip to more than a few of the comics.
